megisthus Novels based on Chinese stories and also factual books about China have been successful in the West. For instance, the Chinese writer Lin Yutang wrote in both Chinese and in English. He wrote about China and about his philosophical beliefs but also wrote a...

megisthus I hope the doctor gave him antibiotics or at least ordered tests. A child doesn't have such a high temperature and illness just from eating junk food. Of course, a healthier diet will support a stronger immune system and the excess sugar and chemicals in junk...

You are about to find out who I am!! This was the question posed to police officers after a routine stop of a vehicle that was driven by the husband of famous Hollywood actress Reese Witherspoon. Yup folks- she pulled the...

megisthus The question is - did it work? Did the police officer still give them a ticket? If it works, people will do it. If it doesn't, they won't, because it will simply make them look pathetic. Celebrities get the best tables in restaurants, for instance, by playing...

I Love Americans (Honestly) But..

Janey1966 @Janey1966 (24170) • Carlisle, England 23 Apr 13

..sometimes the behaviour of some, especially in 'High Places' shall we say, makes my mind boggle, to say the least. The media (in both the US and here in the UK, I'm ashamed to say) are ALL saying the same thing about the Boston...

megisthus Janey, I'm not quite sure what other view you want Americans to present. Are they to expound the Jihadist cause, in order to give a "balanced view" or are they to site all the barmy conspiracy theories that always crop up like mushrooms in a case like this...

aubrey @averygirl72 (38814) • Philippines 23 Apr 13

Some days ago, I watched in the news of a mountaineer who had a serious accident while on the mountains so he died. I heard the father just say, he will just accept what happened because it would be much harder on his part if he...

megisthus Sometimes the problem is deciding what we can change and what we cannot change. When we see an injustice, should be try to fight it, or accept that there is nothing we can do and our efforts will be wasted? If we are injured and have a disability, what level...

Have You any Personal Experience of Coconut Oil??

Marja @buenavida (9984) • Sweden 21 Apr 13

I just learned something new - for me - that, if it is true, may help a lot of people with health problems. The special thing about the fat in Coconut seems to be that it is so easily digested. It does not need bile released...

megisthus Coconut oil contains lauric acid, a medium-chain fatty acid which turns into a chemical called monolaurin in the body. This dissolves the cell walls of lipid-coated viruses (fat-coated). These include the flu virus, measles and HIV. Before sophisticated drugs...

megisthus I suspect that these two were targeted and influenced by older men with an extremist agenda. Teenaged boys go through a phase in which they are very open to exploitation. They are still ignorant about life but filled with testosterone-fueled zeal to fight...

I'm such a bad mother!

ctryhnny @ctryhnny (3460) • United States 20 Apr 13

Thursday I read on fb that my son was going to be dj'ing tonight so I sent a message to my d/i/l asking if she wanted me to babysit. Of course she never got back to me so I sent a text to my son asking him if her mother was going...

megisthus It doesn't make you a bad mom but it suggests you are very insecure in your relationship with your son and daughter-in-law - and that is making you a bit paranoid. From what you've said, there doesn't seem to be any genuine grounds for you to worry....

Career? or family? Which should I choose first?

fatimaobien @fatimaobien (156) • Philippines 21 Apr 13

My friend is in a dilemna. She is being offered a job which would pay her a monthly salary 5x equivalent to her present salary. It is quite an interesting job and in line with her profession. This is what she defined as "being...

megisthus If she was 21, I'd say take the job, fulfil your career ambitions, save for a beautiful home to raise your children in. However, when approaching 35, I'd say there is a chance of not being able to have children at all if she doesn't have them now. A woman's...

This b12 is ridiculous

911Ricki @911Ricki (13588) • Canada 20 Apr 13

My doctor went on and on, saying it's not possible to take b12 and have an upset sore stomach. I thought well maybe was because I took the iron as well, so I went over to the health food store before the other day. They have...

megisthus I can't think of why it should cause you an upset stomach, but it may be that you are sensitive to one of the ingredients in the liquid. It might not be the B12 itself. B12 is important to production of blood cells, to the body's detoxification process, and...

megisthus I like spinach, especially raw in salads. It is also good in Indian curries. Sag ghosh is lamb with spinach. Sag is the Hindi word for the kind of spinach we eat in the west. They have another kind of spinach which they call palak. This has a thicker leaf with...

megisthus I think you will find that if you followed it up further, they would start asking you for money. They would say that fees had to be paid to transmit your "inheritance" to your bank account. Most people have had many of these e-mails - I still get them, too. On...
